Do you think you could still feel grateful after breaking 10 ribs and fracturing your skull?

In this powerful conversation, Jason Dunn opens up about the accidents, fears, failures and life experiences that ultimately forced him to ask a bigger question: What am I actually capable of?

Jason reflects on surviving multiple serious cycling accidents, and explains how gratitude became a conscious choice rather than simply a feeling. He shares the moment he realised he had been living far below his potential — and why discovering your purpose can become the driving force that helps you push through fear, adversity and setbacks.

Drawing on Stoic philosophy and lessons from remarkable people throughout history, Jason explores self-mastery, discipline, resilience, vulnerability and the importance of stillness. He challenges the idea that simply surviving hardship automatically makes us stronger, instead describing resilience as the ability to stop seeing an obstacle as a wall and start seeing it as a door.

He also shares the extraordinary story of confronting his lifelong fear of drowning. Unable to swim a single lap, Jason eventually pushed himself into the water, quit smoking, trained for an Ironman and ultimately completed one of the most demanding endurance challenges imaginable.

From overcoming fear to avoiding regret, Jason explains why planning, purpose and consistent action can transform the way we approach our lives — and why the greatest risk may be reaching the end of your life wishing you had taken the harder, more meaningful path.

How Jason Dunn Still Chose Gratitude After Surviving Multiple Near-Death Experiences

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/4df9bb41-2860-4b17-b67c-b4c500652ead/transcript

What does it really mean to be strong? And how much of the way we think about masculinity is something we’ve consciously chosen — rather than simply inherited?

Harry Garside is an Olympic boxing medallist who has also done ballet, and happens to paint his nails. Two typically juxtaposed traits that saw him both criticised and celebrated when he was thrust into the spotlight at the 2018 Commonwealth Games. In 2024, he joined me for a powerful conversation about masculinity, vulnerability, confidence and the transformative power of discomfort.

Harry reflects on how boxing gave him a deeper understanding of what his body was capable of, helping him develop self-confidence and a sense of security. He also shares what he has learned from working with young people, particularly the boys who appear the loudest or toughest in the room but may be carrying stories that nobody has taken the time to hear.

We explore Harry’s fascination with deliberately stepping outside his comfort zone. For more than five years, he has undertaken monthly “uncomfortable challenges” — from going without speaking to improv, makeup and asking strangers for money — using discomfort as a way to learn, grow and challenge himself.

We also discuss the traditional rules we inherit about what it means to be a man, and whether some of those rules still serve us.

Harry Garside on Strength, Vulnerability and Breaking the Rules of Masculinity

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/e4ed4230-f90c-48b7-8d03-b4b9002e2453/transcript

How do you build confidence when the voice in your head keeps telling you that you’re not good enough?

In this episode, Osher Gunsberg is joined by performance psychologist and mental performance coach Dr Cindra Kamphoff, author of 'The Confidence Habit' and executive performance coach to some of the world's most successful athletes, to explore why even highly successful people can struggle with self-doubt, harsh self-talk and the fear of making mistakes.

Cindra has worked with NFL players and members of the U.S. track and field team, helping them develop the mental skills to perform under pressure. But the lessons she shares aren't just for athletes—they're for anyone who has ever questioned themselves, replayed a mistake or felt like they should be doing better.

Cindra explores the difference between our “inner critic” and our “inner coach”, and how learning to recognise and challenge negative thoughts can fundamentally change the way we see ourselves. She also shares practical tools for dealing with self-doubt, including her “truth meter” and three questions designed to help determine whether the stories we tell ourselves are actually true. She also explains why confidence isn't something you're simply born with, but a skill that can be developed, and how to recover from mistakes without allowing them to define your next performance, using her powerful “learn, burn, return” approach.

From changing negative self-talk to letting go of past failures and learning to trust yourself, this is a practical conversation about turning self-doubt into self-belief and developing the confidence to move forward - even when you don't feel confident.
